Adding a Gallery Block

Method 1 – Use a forward slash (/) and then type out “gallery”. The gallery block should show up.

Method 2 – After selecting the editor, the user should see a + icon. Selecting this should show a list of the most common blocks used. If the gallery block is not there, use the search feature to find it.

  • Settings – Select the total images per column. Toggle off or on cropping of images. Link the images to the media file or the attachment page. Change the size of the image.
  • Space Settings – Users can add margin to the block. This is usually done to add more spacing around block so they are not too close to other elements.
  • Advanced – Allows users to schedule the block, position the block, create an anchor link to the block, and hide the block on a specific breakpoint.
  • Block Scheduling (if enabled) – Allows block to be scheduled. This causes the block to be published or unpublished depending on the date selected.
